The was pulling out of the station
I was bouncing the baby on my knee
You said that all we were leaving
Was long nights and longing to be free
Waving to those smiling faces
You told them we'd be back before they knew
They said that they were longing to change places
Wishing they could buy that ticket too
CHORUS
The hardest part's not leaving
The hard parts not going away
It's the life you have to take with you
And the price the other people have to pay
Now, I'm not one for nostalgia
There are far too many things left to do
But I'd rather be in George Square than Trafalgar
And the only thing that's stopping me is you
You said that you wanted to travel
There were things that you wanted to see
I see the knots you try to unravel
And the only thing that's stopping you is me
